Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

After being battered around by Planta’s teammates after she was thrown away and almost killed due to Merlinus trump card, a spell that could negate and deactivate all space, time, and void attribute magic at once, including his own…

"Don’t forget about us!"

"You’re one tough nut to crack…"

Camilla and Elena appeared in front of Merlinus old face, which had been distorted, becoming longer and monstrous, made of slimy black mud. Their Auras grew stronger, as they activated every buff possible, stacked further with Planta’s buffs.

"N-NO…! GET AWAY!"

Their weapons were thrusted forwards, Camilla’s rapier and Elena’s katanas, hitting his ugly face, as the two of them unleashed their strongest techniques.

"{Abyssal Blood Death Armament} {Spear of Calamity: Hades}!"

Camilla’s rapier absorbed her Abyssal Blood Aura and transformed into a massive spiraling tornado turned into a spear of pure black and dark red colors.

CRAAASSHH!!

The attack instantly pierced through Merlinus face, disintegrating half of it in a mere second, and blowing away the shoulder area!

"{Abyssal Void Blade Arts}: [Fifth Form: Blade of Nothingness]!"

Meanwhile, Elisa channeled the power of the Blade of Nothingness, unleashing its greatest power as a wave of pure invisible energy sliced through Merlinus.

SLAAASSHH!!

The attack cut through his very being, practically deleting another pierce of his body, his face barely managing to keep a third of it!

Merlinus grew desperate as his agony continued to grow, the many surprising techniques and skills that Planta and the rest of her group constantly showed were making things utterly impossible for him now.

"After getting so far…! I won’t die! I WON’T DIE HEREEEEE!"

"{Demonic Void Spacetime Magic}: {Spatial Repulsion}!"

TRUUUMMM!!!

With a loud, monstrous scream, his magic activated once more, hundreds of his Runes exploded around him, sending Planta’s group away, as they sustained medium levels of damage, mostly thanks to Planta’s barriers and their own barriers combined together.

"Everyone!"

Planta rushed to their aid, waving her hands as her Domain and Terrain quickly expanded with her various Skills, healing waves of golden and green energies encompassed their bodies, their wounds instantly regenerating.

"Ugh, that damn thing is already regenerating again?!" asked Achlys, standing up.

"No, look, it’s struggling to keep up!" said DarkReaper. "We’ve dealt enough damage!"

"He was still transforming into his third phase," said Planta. "This is probably why he’s distorting and growing strangely; this is likely now how things should have turned out!"

"We’ve dealt some permanent damage at least, right?" Lily asked. "R-Right?!"

"I believe so!" Planta nodded. "We’re progressing, but his power is still bottomless, we have to see just how far he can go! Let’s go again! Titan, Lily, Camilla! Prepare yourselves for your special Formation!"

"On it! I’ve already set everything up!" Mark nodded.

"Me too!" Lily said.

"I’ve accumulated enough energies," Camilla nodded. "That damned Hell Hole he made though! He’s going to swallow my entire beautiful kingdom!"

"That hole…!" Elena muttered. "Wait, doesn’t it remind you of something? Like, something similar that happened back in the Trial!"

And then, as they rushed back to Merlinus while they activated secret formations, Elena’s words awakened everyone’s memories of that time.

Yes, there was an almost exact same event that happened over there where Cultists opened a massive Hell Hole that led to literal Hell, the Purgatory where the Demon King of the End resides! Your journey continues at NovelBin.Côm

"I-Is he trying to summon the Demon King of the End?!" Lily panicked. "No way!"

"Likely not," said Erebus. "I’ve analyzed him, there’s no point in summoning a Demon King for someone like Merlinus. He wants to become one, not rely on them anymore. He’s very prideful and arrogant after all… However, what he wants to do might be worse."

"What is it?!" Camilla asked.

"He’s using the Demonic Monsters summoned by his Hell Cracks as sacrifices to the Hell Hole," explained Planta. "Is it some kind of Ritual?"

"Yes, I’m afraid it is," Erebus nodded. "It is the little thing he has been working this entire time, that old bastard… A Special Ritual to use Demon King Fragments and combine with them, becoming one himself."

"H-How is he even going to do that?!" Elena asked.

"He has one of my Fragments, which he had been experimenting with, trying to replicate its power, all this time," said Erebus. "I can feel it within him. He has also managed to secure a Fragment from the Demon King of Death, likely a large piece of his skeleton body. And also, he has absorbed and become the vessel of dozens of Demons Souls, at least some Demon Dukes are within him. Demon Dukes and Princes are direct children of the Demon King of the End, meaning that they’re his Fragments, technically."

"N-No way, he already has everything?!" Planta asked.

"Yes…" Erebus nodded, squinting his eyes. "However, he has yet to fully merge with these fragments. Hence he planned to use millions of sacrificed human souls from this kingdom to complete the ritual entirely… but things have changed because of you Planta. Now he has grown desperate, trying or rush the ritual and use the souls of powerful Voidlings and Demonic Monsters instead. It’s a gamble, it could fail. But even if it fails… the result won’t be good for us either way."

"So this entire time he’s been making all these monsters and demonic humans, was it all experimentations for him to achieve this?" asked Planta.

"Maybe… he’s been indeed trying to replicate or fully merge the powers, and he has finally achieved the perfect ritual, in theory…" said Erebus. "We don’t get much time either! We have to find a way to destroy his Domain, but it’s too strong, and anchored to a fixed area within space and time. The Hell Hole seems to also be another Ritual that uses Demonic Materials somewhere… Your friends went to take care of that, right?"

"Yes, let’s hope for the best!" Planta nodded. "Then the plan doesn’t change much anyways! Mark, Lily, Camilla, use the Formation when I give you the signal! Elena, Rita, Mimy, Erebus, come with me!"

Planta charged forward, confronting Merlinus, whose entire body was undergoing a transformation, perfecting itself, despite the wounds.

"You’re here already?!" he screamed in disbelief. "Dammit!"

He swung his giant fists against Planta, as she used her weapons to intercept the blows, activating her techniques with quick succession.
